Austin Newcomers Club is dedicated to introducing new residents
to Austin while extending a hand to make new acquaintances and
join fun Interest Groups.
This month our luncheon program will feature James L. Haley,
a noted Texas author of nearly twenty books. He’ll speak about
his newest book, THE TEXAS SUPREME COURT: A Narrative
History, 1836-1986. One tale from the book:
LAW & ORDER COMES TO TEXAS
During the first court session in East Texas, one feudist who had
been hauled in for trial thumped his Bowie knife into the judicial
bench and declared, “This, sir, is the law in Shelby County!” Unfazed,
Judge Robert M. Williamson leaned back, cocked his pistol, and said,
“Well this, sir, is the constitution that overrules your law. Sit down.”
What with feudists, Indian raids, Mexican invasions, high water,
yellow fever, illiterate clerks, drunken juries, and people who thought
they had a God-given right to do whatever they liked, it took a while
for law to come to Texas. Come hear how it happened!
The monthly luncheon will be held on Wednesday, February 20

at Green Pastures restaurant, located at 811 West Live
Oak in Austin. We get together at around 11:00 a.m. for
a social hour with lunch at 12:00 noon. The luncheon is
$20 per person; reservations are required, and payment
must be received by Thursday, February 14.

To assemble: Cut each cooled cake in half to form 2 layers. I put a dollop of buttercream
down on my patter first, to secure the first layer. Top with raspberry jam then add another
cake layer, topping with buttercream. Add another cake layer, repeat with raspberry jam and
add last cake layer. Tint the remaining buttercream frosting if you want to get a soft pink
color and frost entire cake. I embellished with edible pearls and piped icing.

Approximately every 60 seconds, an American will die from
a coronary event. According to the American Heart Association
(AHA), an estimated 71 million Americans have some form of
heart disease, the most common being high blood pressure. And
most of these problems are self-created by poor lifestyle choices.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO LIVE HEART HEALTHY?
THE AHA RECOMMENDS:

heart disease, too. It is therefore important to know your family
history to help identify familial risk factors and help prevent the
development of certain familial illnesses.
WHAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN A FAMILY
HISTORY?

I’ve been treating headaches for over 25 years and I believe they are
very misunderstood by the general public.
It’s only human nature to have a reason for why something is
occurring, so when people get a headache they usually try to determine
the reason for their headache. Some of the reasons I hear are quite
amusing. “My husband gives me a headache, …my boss, …my
kids.” “I sit at a computer all day and THAT is the reason I have a
headache.”Sometimes people think that headaches are just normal
and everyone gets them. I can assure you that headaches are not
normal. Headaches are a sign that there is something wrong. Just like
all symptoms are signs that something is wrong.
Headaches can be caused by a lot of different things. They can be
caused by exotic and dangerous things like a brain tumor, but more
often they are caused by common things. The most common reason
is pressure on the nerves of the neck that radiate back into the head.
When the bones of the spine are misaligned it will put pressure on the
delicate nerves that exit the spine. This will in turn cause the muscles of
the neck and shoulders to become tight and develop knots in them You
can actually reach up and feel the knots in your muscles. These knots
are not normal and are a sign of spinal misalignment and soft tissue
damage. Once the spinal misalignments are corrected the muscles
relax more and the headaches are gone. Just for fun, I sometimes ask
a headache patient when was the last they had a headache, once they
have had their spine corrected. They will usually say something like
“Gosh I haven’t had a headache in months”. I will ask them if they
got divorced and they will look at me funny and say “NO, why?”
You said your husband was the cause of your headaches! “Oh I guess
I was wrong!”
So headaches are not normal, but are very common. They’re usually
caused by nerve pressure built up in the neck which causes tight
muscles in the neck and shoulders. They can usually be corrected with
gentle chiropractic therapy. You should get this checked even if the
headaches are mild because if the bones of the spine are misaligned it
will cause arthritic changes to form in the bones of the spine which
will limit your ability to move and bend as well as other difficulties.
Be proactive about your health.
